Mississippi born Dad, age 96 just passed and my Tennessee born mom doesn&#39;t want to serve any food! Says the last six funerals she&#39;s attended didn&#39;t offer any more than a handshake goodbye. Could not believe it or her. Yes, we&#39;ll serve food, but since he gave up going to church years ago there&#39;s no church group to help. Bless you for all the great ideas and recipes - now I don&#39;t have to think, just cook. All these suggestions are wonderful to have at this time.Bonita Mastellerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05515186797993016948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7695338129494842494.post-65809292755040292312016-03-17T14:18:11.836-05:002016-03-17T14:18:11.836-05:00When the head cook had enough faith in you at our ...When the head cook had enough faith in you at our church.... after at least 10 years of marriage... you were gifted with &quot;the potato salad recipe&quot; for 10 pounds of potatoes and it was all dumped together also.

We&#39;re very southern in the small towns as most of our parents/grandparents came from the southeastern states. The more metropolitan areas of Florida have few true Floridians anymore, so I&#39;m not surprised that you haven&#39;t seen the respect our smaller towns and cities show.

My grandma usually heads them up : ). At my church here I&#39;ve joined the women that provide food for funerals and I get an email with a category(salad, casserole, dessert, etc.) when there&#39;s a funeral. Technology is so handy. <br /><br />Oh, and I can&#39;t imagine NOT pulling over for a funeral procession, no matter which side of the road I am on. How disrespectful can you get?! <br /><br />I&#39;ve read most of these recipes at one time or another on your blog and they all look delicious.

In TX we pull over all the time for funerals, in VA we dont&#39;- don&#39;t know why though. My uncle tells this story about his friend.
